Best Echo Sets for Yangyang
Best for support-oriented Yangyang. A 5-piece Moonlit Clouds set lets her Outro buff the ATK of the next character, fitting the energy-battery / support playstyle.
Better for damage-oriented Yangyang — increases Aero DMG. Sacrifices some team utility compared to Moonlit Clouds.
Acceptable interim option if you lack full 5-piece sets — mix two 2-piece sets while farming for full sets.
Yangyang's Best Primary Echo
Bell-Borne Geochelone
Provides general shield protection for the team when Yangyang is sub-DPS. Increases damage dealt and reduces incoming damage; shield can transfer to the next character.
Nightmare: Feilian Beringal
Increases Yangyang's overall Aero DMG. Good if using Yangyang as a damage dealer or if you don't have Rinascita/Rinascita-equivalent echoes.
Impermanence Heron
Restores Resonance Energy to help cast Ultimates more often and increases the next character's damage — useful for semi-support roles.

Best Tips & Tricks for Yangyang
Best Teams for Yangyang
Yangyang Early Game Team
Yangyang starts the fight and charges her Concerto Energy until the other character's Resonator icons glow. Use her Liberation to group enemies and her Resonance Skill to deal damage before swapping., Switch to the Main DPS (Rover (Spectro) in this build) once their Resonance Energy is full — Yangyang's Outro will restore their Resonance Energy on swap so they can cast their Intro Skill and follow up., When the Main DPS can use their Resonance Liberation, cast it for strong AoE/burst Spectro damage. Follow with Basic Attacks to charge the Forte Gauge, then use Resonance Skill and continue attacking., Swap back to Yangyang after the Intro Skill/charge cycle to feed Energy again. If the team needs healing, switch to Baizhi to use healing abilities, then return to Yangyang or the Main DPS as needed., Repeat this rotation: Yangyang feeds Energy (Outro) -> Main DPS uses Intro/Resonance Liberation -> swap to Yangyang or healer as necessary until enemies are defeated.
